waters of Dents run, in this county. on

time investigating matters. when mat
is done he will probably return to Charles
ton to represent US some more and get
his reputation daubed with the kanawha
slime.
A call is out for a temperance mass
meeting, to be held in the Court House on
Thursday night next, the 18th inst, at

One of our local temperance unions mas
engaged the celebrated Moss family to give
a musical entertainment in the rink here
on Friday night next. These muslcal
prodigies have visited our town upon a
former occasion and gave such a good en-
tertainment and such general satisfaction

peared and no one knows whittier. He

Principal Sipe advises us that the spring
term of the Normal school begins on the
first day of March next. The school has
been unusually successful during the past
term, the number Of students being much
larger than ever before during the winter.
What this school needs is more teachers
and Il larger appropriation. Two thous-
and dollars for four or five teachers Is ridic-
ulOusly little and this number of teachers
for two hundred and fifty students is
worse. The Legislature should be more
liberal with institutions that are so mani
testify useful.

4 stranger giving the name Of Charles
Kline, apparently about Al or % years of
age. well dressed and OF respectable APP
pearance, got of the train here yesterday

was arrested on the charge of iunacy.
About 500 and a ticket to Chicago were
found upon his person. From what could
be caught from his iucohereut talks, he is

and was on his way to Chicago to meet his

he was in Il wreck on the railroad and
seems rather frightened than crazy. 1t is
a pitiful case and we hope 4 few days will
put the man right again.
